Sweet Potato Frosting

This is something a little new - up until now. I've spent hours creating one post - the pictures consuming most of the time. Pictures have always been my forte but I realized you sweet readers were missing out on some of my favorite recipes or tips simply because I couldn't make the time to take photos and edit them. Hence, the instagram picture... At first, I hesitated. Surely I was not going to inundate my blog with instagram pictures. But as a busy mom of two and taking on a new business with my husband, I realized the beauty of simplicity. Instagram can be really fun and really wonderful. Plus it makes it a little easier to get a post out there on the world wide web. I want to be able to share with you but sometimes I can't get my camera/spend time editing photos because the baby is fussy or my four year old needs help. Of course, I will continue to post my old-style (wonderfully edited photos and all) but I wanted to let you know, you might see a different kind/way of posting from this point forward - now being a great time to start since my computer is on the fritz and I can't get the post I originally photographed.

And now to the recipe, this is inspired by one of my favorite cookbooks - Nourishing Meals: Healthy Gluten-Free Recipes for the Whole Family
by Alissa Segersten and Tom Malterre. If you don't have this book, you seriously need to buy it. It helped me with introducing foods to my now four year old. It also describes the symptoms associated with gluten and dairy intolerance (wish I had known these growing up - would have made my life so much easier). Big Blue Eyes and I recently made the hazelnut gingersnap cookie dough recipe out of it and baked it with the cousins. Totally yummy!

Here is my version of her dairy-free cream cheese frosting. I love the orange of the sweet potatoes! It's so fun without any fake dyes!

A Sweet Welcome

I'm rethinking the way we use herbs in the kitchen and in daily life. It's not always a little dash of this or a sprig of that. All recipes on this blog are dairy and gluten-free. Pour yourself a lush cup of tea and please enjoy Sweet Roots!
